====== Creating Reports ======

TapeTrack can produce reports two ways, through [[:start#tapetrack-desktop-software|Desktop]] and [[cli:introduction|Command Line]] programs.

===== Report Output Options =====

Both the [[:start#tapetrack-desktop-software|Desktop]] and [[cli:introduction|Command Line]] Programs can produce reports in the file formats Text, HTML, PDF and CSV.


===== Desktop Programs =====

Reports can be created through the [[:start#tapetrack-desktop-software|Desktop]] programs by selecting and filtering data and then exporting to a report.

This allows a quick and efficient creation of reports on demand.

==== TapeMaster Reports ====

Reports based over multiple [[object:customer|Customer-ID's]] or [[object:media|Media-ID's]] can be produced through the [[master:tools_global_view|Volume Global View]] function, of which results can be filtered down to required data and then exported to file.  [[master:tools_global_view|Volume Global View]] provides summary data on Customers, Media, Repository and volume totals displayed in the report, as well as [[object:volume|Volume]] data including [[object:volume|Description]], [[object:customer|Customer]], [[object:media|Media]], [[object:repository|Repository]], next and last move, expiry and last update details.

==== Lite Reports ====

Lite allows, through the [[lite:function_volume_management|Volume Management]] function, to view Inventory of a Customer's Media type, which can be filtered and exported  ''(Ctrl+E)'' to file, including details of Volume-ID, Location, Next Move and Description..



 

===== Command Line Programs =====

Reports that are required on a regular basis can be created using various [[cli:introduction|Command Line]]  programs that can then be saved to file, emailed and/or [[cli:tmss10uploadfile|uploaded to the TapeTrack Server]] allowing clients to download ([[master:upload_files#right-click-functions|TapeMaster]], Lite or [[cli:tmss10downloadfile|TMSS10DownloadFile]]) without the need to create the reports themselves.
